टीवी की दुनिया से जुड़े लोगों के लिये एक अच्छी ख़बर है। चाहे वो न्यूज़ चैनल हो या मनोरंजन चैनल। सरकार ने देश मे कई बड़े चैनल्स को लाईसेंस देने का मन बना लिया है। इसमे कुछ विदेशी चैनल्स के नाम भी शामिल है। अगर इतने चैनल शुरु होंगें तो कई लोगों को रोज़गार मिलने की उम्मीद है। इस बारे मे "ओड़ियन्समैटरड़ॉटकॉम" नाम की वैबसाईट पर तफ्सील दी गयी है जिसके मुख्य अंश यहां डाल रहा हुँ। 255 TV CHANNELS ALLOWED UPLINKING The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has permitted 149 news & current affairs TV channels and 106 non-news & current affairs TV channels to uplink from India, as on 15.11.2007.
